Letter to Santa Claus: what is it?
Children from Russia write a letter to Santa Claus, from the UK to a character named Father Frost, and from America to Santa Claus. All these fairy-tale heroes bring gifts and fulfill children's desires, for this, the children should behave well and obey adults all year.
Letter plan

- a little about my dreams
- Conclusion:
Sincerely yours - Sincerely yours / yours

An example of a letter to Santa Claus
To write to Santa in English, you can use a regular notebook or landscape sheet, or you can use a variety of colored “forms”, of which there are a great many on the Internet. There is no limit to fantasy here. The child will like not only to correctly compose the text of the message, but also to decorate it with his own New Year's or Christmas drawings.

And now let's give an example of the letter itself.
Dear Santa Claus,
Let me introduce myself. I am Kate. I am 11. My family is small. We are three: my mother, my father and me. I live in Moscow and study in the 5th form. We have 2 pets, a cat and a dog. I help my parents to take care of them. Our family is very friendly.
New Year is coming and I've decided to write a letter to you. How are you? How did you spend last holidays? I hope everything is ok with you. As for me, at school I was getting good and excellent marks the whole year. Best of all I like English, Nature Studies and Literature. It is so interesting to learn new things about our planet. Besides, I help my mother about the house, do some shopping and walk with our dog. So, as you see, I am quite a good child.
I’d like to ask you to present me with a new creativity-set, containing multicolored beads, some wool for felting and shreds for patchwork. I will be very glad to get an mp3-player or some other interesting gadget. I'm looking forward to the holiday night. It is the time of miracles and fairy tales. And I hope my desires will come to life. Wish you to be healthy and wealthy enough to fulfill the children's dreams all over the world.
Sincerely yours,
Dear Santa Claus!
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Katya, I am 11 years old. I have a small family. There are three of us: mom, dad and me. I live in Moscow, I study in the 5th grade. We have 2 pets: a cat and a dog. I help parents take care of animals. I have a very friendly family.
The New Year is approaching, and I decided to write you a letter. How are you doing? How did you spend your last holidays? I hope you're doing well. As for me, whole year I got "good" and "excellent" at school. Most of all I love English, natural history and literature. It's so interesting to learn new things about our planet. In addition, I help my mother around the house, do shopping and walk our dog. That is, as you can see, I am quite an obedient child.
I would like to ask you to give me a new craft kit with colorful beads, some felting wool and patchwork patchwork. I'll be glad to get an mp3 player or some other interesting gadget.

A letter to Santa Claus
Hello Dear Santa!
I wish you to have a Merry Christmas! Be healthy and happy! I am sure that you are the best because you help to believe in wonders and bring the spirit of joy and happiness to many children around the world.
When I grow up I want to act just like you!
I think I have been a very good boy this year. every day I help my mother about the house. I clean my room and often wash the dishes. I have tried my best not to quarrel with my little sister. I have not teased and called her names. I have played with her and even gave her my favorite toy. It's a nice teddy bear. But, Dear Santa, won't you be so kind and give a nice doll to my sister. She will be happy to have a Barbie doll.
As for me, there is one thing I wish for Christmas. I want you to bring me a pretty little puppy, which I want to live in my house. I hope you have it. But my mommy is against the puppy, she says that dogs must live out of doors, but not in the house.
Dear Santa, can you help me and say my mom that I am eager to have a puppy. I will always feed it and besides I will never forget to walk with it in the evenings!
looking forward to my present.
My best wishes to Mrs. Claus, all the elves and reindeers!
Your friend, Valentin.
P.S. I will leave you yogurt and cookies again this year, because it seems to me you really liked my mommy's cookies.
Hello dear Santa!
I wish you a Merry Christmas! Health and cheerful mood! I am sure that you are the best in the world, because you help to believe in miracles, and bring joy and fun to many children around the world. When I grow up, I want to be like you.
I think I have been a good boy this year. Every day I help my mother around the house. I clean my room and wash dishes very often. I tried not to quarrel with my little sister. I didn't call her names or tease her. I played with her and even gave her my favorite toy. This is a cute bear. But dear Santa, please give my little sister a Barbie doll. She will be very happy.
What I want more than anything is a cute little puppy to live in my house. I think you have one. Although my mother is against a puppy, she says that dogs should live on the street, not in the house.
Dear Santa, can you help me; tell my mom that I really, really want a puppy. I will always feed him and I will not forget to walk with him in the evenings.
Looking forward to my gift.
Best wishes Mrs. Claus, all elves and deer!
Your friend Valentine
P.S. I'll leave you yogurt and cookies on the table because I think you liked the cookies my mom made.
